Chapter Sixteen

After making a call, the Japanese Ishikawa left in a hurry.

Just as he was about to take a shower and rest, the second, third and fourth wife chased after him with Butler Chen, Master Chen and Mr. Qian. The room was too small to sit down so many people. Master Chen had to drag his exhausted body back to the living room and talk to those who care about him again.

"Realistically speaking, we women shouldn't talk too much about things outside, but the world is so chaotic, and you show up to do things for the Japanese again, which makes people unable to sleep or eat! Zuer, my aunt knows that it's not easy for you, knows that you're sensible, and even knows that everything you do is for this family, but you also have to think about it for your aunt. If something really happens, how can you tell your father to tell her a hundred years later?"

"Yes, Zuer, our family can no longer withstand the slightest movement. Listen to my aunt's advice, we must not make mistakes again and again. The lessons of the past are there, so let's think of other solutions."

The second wife was very thoughtful, while the third wife was very serious. Although they were all women's opinions, their deep love was beyond words, which moved him very much. Seeing their snot and tears, Master Chen realized that he should communicate more with them, rather than just hiding everything from them like before.

"Three concubines, Jizu knew what he was doing and knew how dangerous his situation was. But this was a necessity. The reason why I didn't tell you anything was because I was afraid that you would worry. Fortunately, things finally came to light. So at this critical moment, I hope you can understand and support it."

The choked voice was sincere, and the expression was very sincere, with a little gratitude, a little touching, and a little grateful. It was completely different from Chen Jizu before the accident. Even though he said a lot, he found that he didn't say anything in the end, but the second wife still chose to believe it, so she held his hand and said in a tempting manner: "My aunt believes in you and will support you, but you must cherish yourself even more!"

There is no doubt that she was worried that she would be ruined and would cause death. After all, there were many political assassinations in the concession, and anyone who had something to do with politics would be in panic all day long.

Master Chen nodded and forced a laugh and said, "It is said that if you survive a disaster, you will have good fortune. Regardless of the Military Control Commission, the Central Commission or the Japanese, it is not that easy to want your son's life."

The country is easy to change, but the nature is difficult to change, so he praised him for his sensibility. In a blink of an eye, he began to speak nonsense again. The fourth concubine Mayhong was so angry that she gritted her teeth. She couldn't help but stretch out her pink and slender arms, and pinched his thighs hard, "I'll be verbally polite, and don't see when it's time. Don't be foolish with your second aunt. The three cobblers are better than Zhuge Liang! I'll tell you what plans I have to say, let's take a closer look."

I have been vegetarian and chanting Buddha and worshiping the Holy King for many years, but my second wife has long lost the jealous spirit of being competing for a long time.

When the old man was alive, she turned a blind eye to the unspeakable bad things between them, let alone the old man had already left the world. Besides, the family scandals should not be made public. Instead of being ridiculed by outsiders, it would be better to be fooled in his stomach, so he didn't say a word as if he had seen nothing.

The third concubine Li Xiangmei was a little uncomfortable, but she had no children and lacked confidence. She usually competed with May Hong for some trivial matters, but she didn't dare to talk too much about this matter. In short, except for the one in the urn who had been kept in the dark, Chen Gongguan knew about the misfortune.

Even Mr. Qian, who was sitting aside, showed a mysterious smile. Master Chen was embarrassed and coughed twice quickly, saying seriously: "Auntie, Jizu thinks so. Our whole family stays in Shanghai. The goal is too big and it is impossible to guard against. So after discussing with the old master, Mr. Qian and uncle, I agreed that we should leave in batches."

"Yes, yes," the housekeeper Chen Liang took over the conversation and whispered: "Second Mrs., when the brothers from Nanyang arrive, you will take Ziqi and Zijing first. Their target is the young master, so you won't make things difficult for you women. There should be no big problems with safety."

The third wife couldn't help asking: "Where is the boat ticket? You can't leave without the boat ticket."

"I have already asked someone to ask the Jardinian Foreign Company. I have to say that I have to thank your nephew, Xianqiong brothers, for having worked in the foreign company. I have a wild path and a familiar person. Now I am almost certain on the ship date."

My mother's family made a sigh of relief for her, and the third wife's mood suddenly improved a lot. She glanced at Mayhong with pride and asked again, "What's the matter?"

Butler Chen smiled and replied in a deep and concise manner: "You and the fourth wife go away in the second group. After you meet with the second wife in Penang, my brothers will send you to Australia. My brothers in the house will pick you up in Australia, so there is no need to worry about the inconvenience of leaving your hometown."

"Go to Australia?"

The second wife was shocked and asked in confusion: "Zoer, what medicine are you selling in the gourd? Why do you have to go to Australia? Isn't it good to stay in Penang?"

Chen Jizu sighed lightly, shook his head and smiled bitterly: "Auntie, you always stay at home and naturally know very little about the outside world. In fact, except for China, many Western countries are also fighting, and they are all in alliance with each other, just like the five major surname companies in Penang, they are in harmony with each other, and one moves the whole body, including England.

If even English is caught in, do you think the British in Penang are Gu’s hometown or the Chinese? As the saying goes, if you are not afraid of 10,000, you are afraid of if you are not afraid of 10,000. That’s what I mean by asking you to go to Australia. Anyway, there is no one to take care of it there. It is said that the scenery and climate are quite good, so I just treat it as a relaxing place. At worst, I can come back again."

The old master, who thought that the knowledgeable war could be fought, was deeply suspicious, but as he said, if he was not afraid of ten thousand, he was afraid of it. It was better to go to Australia than not. Anyway, the Chen family had money and didn't care about the little travel expenses at all. Seeing that the second wife seemed a little unhappy, the old master laughed and said, "Second Mrs., this is also the kindness of the young master. You should be happy."

"I'm afraid that this old bone will not stand the torture, and then I will die in a foreign land and even the ancestral tomb will not be able to enter."

"Look at what you said, will we let us live as soon as possible? Second wife, don't be stubborn. I'll follow the arrangements of the young master. I'll make sure you're fine."

"It's good to go to Australia to see it," Mayhong said suddenly, "But all the time, they're talking about us, what about you... Then when do you plan to leave?"

The second wife suddenly reacted, stared at Master Chen's eyes, and said anxiously: "Zu'er, we women don't know a lot of words. Even if they are crazy, they won't be angry with us. Otherwise, you'd better leave first! We can't help but stay in Shanghai when we arrive in Australia."

"My second sister is right. If you want to leave, you can leave first. I want to see how they can take care of their aunt?"

The second and fourth wife both expressed their opinions, and the third wife Li Xiangmei would not fall behind. "Zhu'er, either you leave first or go together. When the disaster comes, they will fly together. That's still a family."

Three women made Master Chen very worried, so he simply gritted his teeth, slapped the table with a "splash", and roared sternly: "My good aunt, don't cause trouble for me! Listen to me, everyone has a way out, and no one can leave if they don't listen to me. If you really want to see my head hanging on the flagpole like Cai Diaotu, or where the body and head are different like Tang Zhaoyi, then you will do it by your own nature, and I won't care. Anyway, you will die early and be reborn soon, and you will be a hero again in 18 years!"

The eldest young master was so angry that everyone was so scared that he held his breath. No one dared to speak easily. Even Mayhong, who was "easy" on weekdays, did not say a word, lowered her head and grabbed the corner of her clothes.

He was speaking out of some anger, but he actually achieved unexpected results. Seeing that they all lowered their heads, Master Chen changed his tone and continued in a whisper: "Second Auntie, Third Auntie, Fourth Auntie, you and Ziqi, Zijing, and Shuzhen and Shen Qin are my closest and closest people. Only when you are safe can I let go of my hands and feet, and only in this way can I have a glimmer of hope. Now, I don't expect you to forgive me for all the past, but please listen to me no matter what, otherwise our room will be over!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Chen Liang knelt on the ground with a "bang", choking with tears and saying, "The second, third, fourth, and young master have all said this, so you can listen to him. I, Aliang, only kneel down in the sky, kneel down, and ancestors in my life. I did not kneel until the master died. Today I will kneel down to you. If you don't agree, then I will not be able to kneel down!"

Chen Liang followed the old man as a child, and no one regarded him as a servant. How could the second wife make him kneel down for a long time? She quickly got up to support her and said in tears: "Men have gold under their knees, why are you doing this! Okay... I listen to you, you can do it? Get up, don't let the younger generations laugh."

"Zu'er, my aunt will listen to you, but you must also protect yourself, otherwise my aunt will never be at ease in this life."

"Don't worry, I'll be fine."

Now that things have come to this, Mayhong has no time to say anything. She pondered for a moment and suddenly asked, "That opera singer and her bastard are going to Australia too?"

Chen Jizu nodded heavily and confirmed: "The blood is thicker than water, I can't throw their orphans and widows here."

Thinking of the past, the third wife Li Xiangmei couldn't help asking, "Zu'er, I know you have a kind heart, but are they willing to go with us?"

"Dad sent the mountain to the seventh day, when did they not come?" Master Chen paused and said meaningfully to the butler Chen Liang: "Touching him with affection and reasoning, they should agree. At worst, they can ask Uncle Liang to kneel down and kneel down again. I don't believe that they don't even give Uncle Liang's face."

"Young Master, aren't you so embarrassed me?"

Chen Liang's face turned red, and he wanted to find a crack in the ground to get into it.
